Sun Protection & Extras
Cleanse & Exfoliate
A gentle, fragrance-free cleanser formulated with the same three essential ceramides as CeraVe's moisturizers, plus hyaluronic acid, so it cleanses without stripping the skin's barrier. Great pick if you're already using CeraVe's moisturizer and want...
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser Moisturizing
This is the exfoliant that actually cleared up my clogged pores on my nose and chin. Start with 2-3x a week — it can be drying if you overdo it, but the difference in texture after a month is real.
Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
Moisturize & Treat
The ceramides genuinely help repair my skin barrier my skin doesn’t get irritated or red as easily anymore
• It has hyaluronic acid too, so the hydration lasts
• Works well morning or night, super versatile
• Great value for the jar size, really w...
CeraVe
A budget-friendly, cult-favorite serum that targets excess oil and shine, reduces the look of blemishes and pores, and helps even out texture. Lightweight and water-based, so it layers easily under a heavier moisturizer like CeraVe's — good for anyon...
Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Oil Control Serum
Layer this under moisturizer on damp skin and it makes a huge difference — plumps up fine lines instantly. Lightweight enough for oily skin too, and it doesn't pill under makeup.
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Serum
The hyaluronic acid gel texture sinks in fast without any greasy residue — my go-to on humid days or under makeup when a heavier cream feels like too much.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel
This is what I reach for when my skin is freaking out — eczema flare-ups, post-flight dryness, windburn, all of it. Colloidal oatmeal calms redness fast and it's fragrance-free so it doesn't sting.
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream
A few drops of this before moisturizer gives that lit-from-within glow without any glitter or shimmer — it's subtle, not sticky, and smells like actual watermelon.
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
This is the one dermatologists actually recommend for hormonal breakouts, and you don't need a prescription for it anymore. Start every other night and always pair with a rich moisturizer — it's drying at first, but stick with it, purging stops after...
Differin Adapalene Gel 0.1% Acne Treatment
Sun Protection & Extras
A broad-spectrum SPF (available in SPF 60 or SPF 100) built with Cell-Ox Shield technology for UVA/UVB protection plus antioxidant support. It's fragrance-free, allergy-tested, and known for a fast-absorbing, velvety texture that blends in well under...
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60
An overnight lip treatment with a berry fruit complex, shea butter, and a hyaluronic acid “moisture wrap” that locks in hydration while you sleep. Consistently one of the best-reviewed lip treatments on the market for chronically dry or flaky lips.
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate - Laneige
The only sunscreen I've found with zero white cast and zero greasy feel — it's completely clear and weightless under makeup, which is why I actually reapply it instead of skipping it.
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40
